Your email was sent to both the users and dev lists. http://openlayers.org/pipermail/users/2009-May/011737.html http://openlayers.org/pipermail/dev/2009-May/004841.html > I thought this 'might' be a bug.

The Dev list is, as described at the mailing list page, "Ideal if you're modifying OpenLayers classes, creating subclasses, or otherwise getting into the guts of OpenLayers." At this point, I see no evidence that you are 'getting into the guts of OpenLayers'. "I think I've found a bug" is oftentimes "I don't understand how something works" in disguise. If you haven't found the bug by reading the OpenLayers source code, then it is unlikely that the dev list is the most appopriate forum. > Anyway... > > No, you don't understand my question. No, you don't understand my answer. I am telling you that *what you thought is wrong*. XMLHttpRequest -- and the OpenLayers.Request that wraps it -- do not cause a Download dialog. The only way to do that is to cause the browser to request the zip file -- by, for example, including it in a new page, or possibly an iframe, though I'm not sure that this is true. > Once users clicked on a button called 'Download zip'. > The wms-server will send a respond together with a zip file. > I thought this will work if Openlayers.Request is behaving the same way as > requesting from the browser. But it doesn't. Regards, -- Christopher Schmidt MetaCarta _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@openlayers.org http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
